What you call "legit" is $100+ massage. If you want a cheap massage you go to an Asian place and they work late. Been to plenty with zero funny business involved

What I never I understood was why do people never hold porn to the same standard.
A young person 18+ can go do porn or become a stripper to earn money for an iPhone, what's the difference?
This is a very good point. I guess the difference is that relatively few people get chosen to be porn performers whereas anyone could become a prostitute. However, it's still sex for money and it's not really logical that one is legal and the other is not.

Have you ever been on Spring Break??

The Netherlands have done a decent job with their Red Light District. Like another poster stated, you shouldn't be raw dogging a random person. Pro or non-pro.

Pimping and pandering are illegal in some countries that have some level of legalized prostitution.

Of course pimping won't go away but it shouldn't be legally promoted either. They should be treated as harshly as human traffickers.

This implies that prostitutes corner the market of unprotected sex....

Certainly not true.

What makes you think that ^^ has anything to do with legalized prostitution (assuming by "young" you are implying underage)?

If you are implying young adults, they are legal adults and we shouldn't be legislating behavior between consenting adults just because we disagree with the choices they make in life.

There will always be all sorts of people engaging in prostitution.... I don't see how legalization of prostitution will suddenly raise the bar in quality. It isn't like the legislature will demand a level of quality person.

In certain areas (Flushing), it is pretty well known common knowledge....

There is a reason why that while I am a supporter of legalized prostitution, I would still want street prostitution and pimping to remain illegal. While these places operate indoors they are still propositioning on the street.
